The '''discus throw''' ({{audio|En-us-discus.ogg|pronunciation|help=no}}), also known as disc throw, is a [[track and field]] event in which the participant [[athlete]] [[throw]]s an [[oblate spheroid]] [[weight (object)|weight]]{{snd}} called a '''discus'''{{snd}} in an attempt to ~~mark~~ a ~~further~~ distance than other competitors. It is an [[classical antiquity|ancient]] sport, as demonstrated by the fifth-century-BC [[Myron]] statue ''[[Discobolus]]''. Although not part of the current [[pentathlon]], it was one of the events of the [[Ancient Olympic pentathlon|ancient Greek pentathlon]], which can be dated back to at least 708 BC,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.olympic.org/uk/passion/collectors/object/gallery_uk.asp?ObjId=318|title=Sports – List of Summer and Winter Olympic Sports|date=14 January 2018|website=olympic.org}}</ref> and it is part of the modern [[decathlon]].

==History==

Line 29:

The event consists of throwing a heavy disc, with the weight or size depending on the competitor. Men and women throw different sized discs, with varying sizes and weights depending on age. The weight of the discus is either governed by [[World Athletics]] for international or [[USA Track & Field]] for the United States.

In the United States, [[Henry Canine]] advocated for a lighter-weight discus in high school competition. His suggestion was adopted by the [[National Federation of State High School Associations|National High School Athletic Association]] in 1938.<ref name="Aledo">{{cite web|url=https://www.newspapers.com/~~image~~/~~?clipping_id=~~90169040~~&fcfToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJmcmVlLXZpZXctaWQiOjMwMjU0NzMwOCwiaWF0IjoxNjM4ODQ1NTMxLCJleHAiOjE2Mzg5MzE5MzF9.98n1pNWF4wMNFC7BlANhG9M5MEMdBgSES0Kjq2-ixAY~~|title=Henry E.

The typical discus has sides made of plastic, wood, fiberglass, carbon fiber or metal with a metal rim and a metal core to attain the weight. The rim must be smooth, with no roughness or finger holds. A discus with more weight in the rim produces greater angular momentum for any given spin rate, and thus more stability, although it is more difficult to throw. However, a higher rim weight, if thrown correctly, can lead to a longer throw. In some competitions, a solid rubber discus is used (see [[#United States|in the United States]]).

To make a throw, the competitor starts in a circle of {{T&Fcalc|2.~~5|m~~}} diameter, which is recessed in a concrete pad by {{convert|20|mm|in}}. The thrower typically takes an initial stance facing away from the direction of the throw. They then spin anticlockwise (for right-handers) {{frac|1|1|2}} times while staying within the circle to build momentum before releasing the discus. The discus must land within a 34.92º [[circular sector]] that is centered on the throwing circle.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sportsaspire.com/discus-throw-rules|title=The Rules and Regulations Every Discus Thrower Should Be Aware Of|date=2009-11-04|website=Sports Aspire|access-date=2020-03-11}}</ref> The rules of competition for discus are virtually identical to those of [[shot put]], except that the circle is larger, a stop board is not used and there are no form rules concerning how the discus is to be thrown.

To make a throw, the competitor starts in a circle of {{T&Fcalc|2.50}} diameter, which is recessed in a concrete pad by {{convert|20|mm|in}}. The thrower typically takes an initial stance facing away from the direction of the throw. They then spin anticlockwise (for right-handers) {{frac|1|1|2}} times while staying within the circle to build momentum before releasing the discus. The discus must land within a 34.92º [[circular sector]] that is centered on the throwing circle.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sportsaspire.com/discus-throw-rules|title=The Rules and Regulations Every Discus Thrower Should Be Aware Of|date=2009-11-04|website=Sports Aspire|access-date=2020-03-11}}</ref> The rules of competition for discus are virtually identical to those of [[shot put]], except that the circle is larger, a stop board is not used and there are no form rules concerning how the discus is to be thrown.

The basic motion is a fore-handed sidearm movement. The discus is spun off the index finger or the middle finger of the throwing hand. In flight the disc spins clockwise when viewed from above for a right-handed thrower, and anticlockwise for a left-handed thrower. As well as achieving maximum momentum in the discus on throwing, the discus' distance is also determined by the trajectory the thrower imparts, as well as the aerodynamic behavior of the discus. Generally, throws into a moderate headwind achieve the maximum distance. Also, a faster-spinning discus imparts greater gyroscopic stability. The technique of discus throwing is quite difficult to master and needs much experience to perfect; thus most top throwers are 30 years old or more.

==Phases==

The discus technique can be broken down into phases. The purpose is to transfer from the back to the front of the throwing circle while turning through one and a half circles. The speed of delivery is high, and speed is built up during the throw (slow to fast). Correct technique involves the buildup of torque so that maximum force can be applied to the discus on delivery.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.liveabout.com/step-by-step-discus-throw-technique-3258710|title=How to Throw a Discus Step-By-Step|last=Rosenbaum|first=Mike|date=2018-12-11|website=LiveAbout|access-date=2020-03-11}}</ref>

Line 133:

Focusing on rhythm can bring about the consistency to get in the right positions that many throwers lack. Executing a sound discus throw with solid technique requires perfect balance. This is due to the throw being a linear movement combined with a one and a half rotation and an implement at the end of one arm. Thus, a good discus thrower needs to maintain balance within the circle.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://digitaltrackandfield.com/shot-put-discus-technique/|title=Shot Put and Discus Technique and Training|last=Cappos|first=Scott|website=Digital Track and Field}}</ref>

For a right handed thrower, the next stage is to move the weight over the left foot. From this position the right foot is raised, and the athlete 'runs' across the circle. There are various techniques for this stage where the leg swings out to a small or great extent~~, some~~ athletes turn on their left heel (e.g. Ilke ~~Wylluda~~<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vr-6mTLm30| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211031/7vr-6mTLm30| archive-date=2021-10-31 | url-status=live|title=wyludda discus throw 1996 olympics|last=throwhammer|date=13 September 2010|via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref>) but turning on the ball of the foot is far more common.

The aim is to land in the 'power position', the right foot should be in the center and the heel should not touch the ground at any point. The left foot should land very quickly after the right. Weight should be mostly over the back foot with as much torque as possible in the ~~body—so~~ the right arm is high and far back. This is very hard to achieve.<ref>[http://trackandfield.about.com/od/discus/ss/discustechnique_8.htm#step-heading Power position] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150406011758/http://trackandfield.about.com/od/discus/ss/discustechnique_8.htm#step-heading |date=2015-04-06 }}, about.com</ref>

The critical stage is the delivery of the discus~~, from this~~ 'power position' the hips drive through hard, and will be facing the direction of the throw on delivery. Athletes employ various techniques to control the end-point and recover from the throw, such as fixing feet (to pretty much stop dead<ref name="auto"/>), or an active reverse spinning onto the left foot (e.g. Virgilijus Alekna<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhZwyyfBCBo| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211031/YhZwyyfBCBo| archive-date=2021-10-31 | url-status=live|title=2005 World Championship Men's Discus - 1st Virgilijus Alekna|last=ntujavelin|date=26 December 2008|via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref>).

Discus throwers have been selected as a main motif in numerous collectors' coins. One of the recent samples is the €10 Greek [[Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Greece)#2003 coinage|Discus commemorative coin]], minted in 2003 to commemorate the [[2004 Summer Olympics]]. On the obverse of the coin a modern athlete is seen in the foreground in a half-turned position, while in the background an ancient discus thrower has been captured in a lively bending motion, with the discus high above his head, creating a vivid representation of the sport.

 The event consists of throwing a heavy disc, with the weight or size depending on the competitor. Men and women throw different sized discs, with varying sizes and weights depending on age. The weight of the discus is either governed by [[World Athletics]] for international or [[USA Track & Field]] for the United States.

 The typical discus has sides made of plastic, wood, fiberglass, carbon fiber or metal with a metal rim and a metal core to attain the weight. The rim must be smooth, with no roughness or finger holds. A discus with more weight in the rim produces greater angular momentum for any given spin rate, and thus more stability, although it is more difficult to throw. However, a higher rim weight, if thrown correctly, can lead to a longer throw. In some competitions, a solid rubber discus is used (see [[#United States|in the United States]]).
-To make a throw, the competitor starts in a circle of {{T&Fcalc|2.5|m}} diameter, which is recessed in a concrete pad by {{convert|20|mm|in}}. The thrower typically takes an initial stance facing away from the direction of the throw. They then spin anticlockwise (for right-handers) {{frac|1|1|2}} times while staying within the circle to build momentum before releasing the discus. The discus must land within a 34.92º [[circular sector]] that is centered on the throwing circle.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sportsaspire.com/discus-throw-rules|title=The Rules and Regulations Every Discus Thrower Should Be Aware Of|date=2009-11-04|website=Sports Aspire|access-date=2020-03-11}}</ref> The rules of competition for discus are virtually identical to those of [[shot put]], except that the circle is larger, a stop board is not used and there are no form rules concerning how the discus is to be thrown.

 The basic motion is a fore-handed sidearm movement. The discus is spun off the index finger or the middle finger of the throwing hand. In flight the disc spins clockwise when viewed from above for a right-handed thrower, and anticlockwise for a left-handed thrower. As well as achieving maximum momentum in the discus on throwing, the discus' distance is also determined by the trajectory the thrower imparts, as well as the aerodynamic behavior of the discus. Generally, throws into a moderate headwind achieve the maximum distance. Also, a faster-spinning discus imparts greater gyroscopic stability. The technique of discus throwing is quite difficult to master and needs much experience to perfect; thus most top throwers are 30 years old or more.

-The discus technique can be broken down into phases. The purpose is to transfer from the back to the front of the throwing circle while turning through one and a half circles. The speed of delivery is high, and speed is built up during the throw (slow to fast).

 Focusing on rhythm can bring about the consistency to get in the right positions that many throwers lack. Executing a sound discus throw with solid technique requires perfect balance. This is due to the throw being a linear movement combined with a one and a half rotation and an implement at the end of one arm. Thus, a good discus thrower needs to maintain balance within the circle.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://digitaltrackandfield.com/shot-put-discus-technique/|title=Shot Put and Discus Technique and Training|last=Cappos|first=Scott|website=Digital Track and Field}}</ref>
-For a right handed thrower, the next stage is to move the weight over the left foot. From this position the right foot is raised, and the athlete 'runs' across the circle.
